I don,t think so. Maldonado will go for the win as he wants to show he is fast and he wants to be one of the only drivers to win multiple races this season. While Hamilton can,t afford a dnf because it will mean that he will be out of the Wdc contention. And petulant comments like yours is what makes other people to hate or wish bad things to happen to your driver. You probably will be eating your words at this time tomorrow.

Indeed he is. But he seems uncapable of managing high pressure situations. I’t up to him to learn how to manage this, but I think that he had several opportunities to do it and failed. Beeing fast is not enough, as we all know.

Not trying to denigrate his performance but I still wonder how fast the car could be, maybe it could be dominating the championship if driven by a top driver, or maybe Pastor is fast enough to be a top driver, I just wish we knew the answer.

Wow what laps from Hamilton and Maldonado! Disappointed Vettel wasn’t able to bring the fight to Hamilton, took some of the tension out of Q3. It’s all about damage limitation for Alonso tomorrow down in 5th, but he could get Button off the line.

I don’t think do.mit means he might be the fastest in race trim. Alonso also seems to have a good car prepared for the race.let me remind you that Hamilton had a pole like today’s in Hungary and in the race he wasn’t nowhere as fast as he was in the qualifying. The lotusses were faster than him and they couln’t pass him because of the track layout. Also I just heard Alonso say that the most important thing will be the strategy,the setup,the car that will take care of the tires and last but not least the fact that no one knows for sure how long the super soft will last. So based on this I think vetted is in the best position to win the race

We did not really see Vetel’s pace in long runs yet during practice, but Hamilton’s pace for long runs seems good during FP2. So it could be a battle btwn Hamilton and Vetel for the win. Maldonado would most likely be trailing behind with a slower pace and maybe even stir up trouble for the cars in the midfield.

That is a brilliant front row. I imagine Hamilton will be very cautious and so he should be. He doesn’t need to win, Pastor needs it more. Hamilton has already been burned by Maldonado and will be keen to stop it happening again. I don’t think it’s a given that Maldonado will be reckless, that would be unfair of me but they are two naturally aggressive drivers which will be exciting.
